kwoeltje (1313), Manchester, Missouri, USA Aug 5, 2008 (500ml can) dark brown-black with tan head. Aroma of smoky malt. Flavor of roast/smoky malt and dark fruits. Didn’t notice the hops as much. RaphaelN (195), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 19, 2008 500ml can thanks to a friend. An IPA unlike it’s name. One of the better brews that the Great Lakes brewery has to offer us. Plenty of hops on the palate. Flavour is consistent in a semi-sweet and spicy grapefruit, with coriander and orange peel. Aroma is slightly ’bitter’ (if you can call it that) and sweet with a sour flowery scent. Good brew. Cletus (4999), Connecticut, USA Jul 16, 2008 Can courtesy of MrManning. Pours red with an off white head. Smells of sweet malt, some spice. Tastes of citrus, light pepper, nutty. Decent. TaktikMTL (2739), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Jul 16, 2008 Canette de 473 ml achetée à la LCBO (Ottawa, ONT). Arôme: Odeur d’houblon et de caramel fruité. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée foncée. Présence d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel et d’houblon avec une pointe d’apricot. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence d’amertume d’houblon en arrière goût. (Rating #1807) DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Jul 4, 2008 Supercan. Dark amber, moderate head. Caramel, earthy/dried leaves aroma. Fruity and earthy hop character with a caramel malt platform. This came across more as an english style pale ale, but nice nonetheless. Ported (67), Ontario, Canada Jun 27, 2008 Tallboy. Dark brown with tan head. very malty, sweet and slightly fruity. Decent. vanrassel (30), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jun 26, 2008 Poured mahogany with a sticky two-finger head that left rings on the sides of my pint glass. Muted aroma of sugar and plum. Similar vinous flavour complemented by chocolate that ended grainy and dry. Nice substantial body and high carbonation. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jun 24, 2008 On tap at C’est What? Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Lots of chocolate flavors. This is unusual for a pale ale, but good.
